RE: Approval for Proposed Taxicab Legislarion
Please note that the Business Review Council (BRC)Executive Committee received input from
LIEP staff and representatives of the taacicab industry on March l, 2006, and on Mazch 16, 2006.
On March 1, 2006, the Business Review Council amended Proposal Three making the minimum
number of cabs required to open a taYi operation five instead of the ten proposed. The Executive
Committee moved this agenda item with recommendation for approval to the full Business
Review Council.
At our April 6, 2006, Full BRC meeting the BRC approved the three proposed changes to
current Saint Paul Legislative Code. The Minutes from these meerings aze attached. Please
let me know if you haue any questions or concerns. I can be reached at 651-651-846-1583.
Proposal One:
Requires insurance companies to notify the certificate holder immediately in writing that a
vehicle is being deleted from coverage under their policy.
Proposal Two:
Would increase the amount of time an individual convicted of a major felony would have to wait
in order to operate a cab. This proposal would require persons convicted of a major felony
ineligible to operate a cab ten years from the date of dischazge from their sentence rather than
five years from the date of conviction.
Proposal Three:
Would require an applicant for a taxi cab vehicle license to affiliate with a service company with
a minimum of five City of Saint Paul licensed vehicles.
